i The bolt Shereinbefore referred to is also idisposedithro ighjayertically directed slot "lOprodLiced in'acmem ber or, platell Wherebythe] member oriplate may be. caused iiOxhflV proper contact with" thelower mold boardrmeinber from; below to'a point iminflfig -re 1' tope'rmitthe member'or plate from the inner or adjacent end of the bar 8of the share S.

Secured to and extending upwardly from the inner end of the offsetportion 1 of the bar B is a brace or upright member 14 having its upperend portion 15 properly shaped to have close contact from below with thelower mold board member M, and said portion 15 is provided with alongitudinally disposed slot 16 which extends across a longitudinallydisposed slot 17 properly positioned upon the member M and disposedthrough said slots 16 and 17 is a bolt 18 having associated therewith anut 19 herein disclosed as engaging from below the portion 15 of theuprightmember 14 The lower marginal portion of the member M is alsoprovided with the longitudinally disposed slots 20. Disposed througheach of the two forward slots 20 is a bolt 21 also directed through alongitudinally disposed slot 22 produced in a portion of an elongatedmember 23fand associated with the bolt 21 is a nut 24:. The slots 20 and22 permit requisite adjustment of each of the members 23 to bring theopening 25 in the outer or lower end portion thereof in register with aconventional opening in the upper marginal portion of the share S andthrough which registering openings are disposed in a conventional mannerthe bolts 26.

The rear slot 20 also has disposed therethrough a bolt 21 which isdirected through a longitudinally disposed slot 27 in a member 23*, saidmember 23 in its outer or lower end portion thereof having an opening 25for register with one of the conventional openings in the upper marginalportion of the share S and through which registering openings a bolt 26also registers. The member 23 at its upper portion is provided with anangular extension or arm 28 which laps an arm 29. The lapping portionsof the arms 28 and 29 being connected by a bolt 30 disposed therethroughand having associated therewith a clamping nut 31, one of said arms as29 has produced therein a longitudinally disposed slot 32 through whichthe bolt 30 is directed and whereby the relative adjustment ofthe arms28 and 29 may be effected to assure the proper fitting of the member Mwith respect to the share S.

The outer end portion of the arm 29 is provided with a depending arm 33which overlies the inner face of the bar B. The overlying portions ofthe arms 33 and the bar B are provided with the angularly related slots34 through which is directed a bolt 35 having associated therewith a nut36. The slots 34 provide means for eflecting the further adjustment ofthe arms 28 and 29 as may be required.

My template as herein disclosed is particularly adapted for use in theduplicating of a share in accordance with the method particularlydisclosed in my pending aplication Serial No. 628,282 filed March 28,1923 and in practice my improved template is fitted to an old share tobe duplicated as i1lustrated particularly in Figures 1 and 2 and whichcan be readily accomplished by loosening the various bolts and after theadjustment has been accomplished and particularly as relates to the head3, the member or plate 11 and the member M, the required bolts aretightened to maintain such parts in fixed assembly. After this is donethe share S is removed.

The bar B of a point P as is particularly illustratedin Figures 6 and 7is then applied to the head member 3, the particular positioning of saidbar B being assured by the register of the opening therein with theopening 7 in the head member 3. The holding bolt 9 is then tightened tomaintain this assembly. After this the share S proper is secured by thebolts 26 to the members 23 and 23 with the upper margi" nal portion ofsaid share S in close contact with the under edge of the member M. By

this arrangement it is assured that the bar B and point P and the shareS will be properly assembled and my improved template effectivelymaintains such parts in assembled relation whereby the same can be connected by electric torch welding or other fusion process whereby suchassembly is materially cheapened and effected without the necessity ofhammering. By fitting the share S with the member'M it will be assuredthat when the assembled share and point are applied to the plow properthe same will properly fit the plow structure.

The member M is made of such dimensions to permit the template to beemployed in connection with plow shares of different slzes.

From the foregoing description it is thought to be obvious that atemplate constructed in accordance with my invention is particularlywell adapted for use by reason of the convenience and facility withwhich it may be assembled and operated, and it will also be obvious thatmy invention is susceptible of some change and modification withoutdeparting from the principles and spirit thereof and for this reason Ido not wish to be understood as limiting myself to the precisearrangement and formation of the several parts herein shown in carryingout 'my invention in practice except as hereinafter claimed.

I claim r 1. A template for assembling a plow share and its bar andpoint comprising a bar adapted to be secured to the bar of the share, amember carried by the template bar against which the share is fitted,and means for securing said member to the share.

2. A template of the class described comprising a bar adapted to besecured to the bar of a plow share, and a member carried 7 bar of aplow-share, a member carried by the template bar to fit against theupper edge of the share, and means for holding said member rigid afterbeing fitted.

4:. A template of the class described comprising a bar adapted to besecured to the bar of a plow share, a member carried by the template barto fit against the upper edge of the share, and an upstanding membercarried by the forward portion of the template portion for contact withthe member from below.

5. A template of the class described comprising a bar adapted .to besecured to the bar of a plow share, a member carried by the template barto fit against the upper edge carriedby the forward portion of thetemplate bar, and means for attaching said upright member to the firstnamed member.

of the share, an upright member 6. A template of the class describedcomprising a bar adapted to be secured to the bar of a plow share, amember carried by the template bar to fit against the upper edge of theshare, and members carried by the first named member for connection withthe share 7. A template of the class described com-V prising a baradapted to be secured to the bar of a plow share, a member carried bythe template bar to fit against the upper edge of the share, memberscarried by the first named member for connection with the share, andmeans for securing one of said last named members to the template bar.

8. A template of the class described com prising a bar having an openingin an end portion for register with an opening in the bar of a share, aholding member insertible through said registering openings, and amember carried by the template bar to fitagainst the upper edge of theshare.

In testimony whereof I hereunto aflix my signature.
